The
Cloud City EP

Written over Autumn and Winter of 2023, the creation of "Cloud City" was a fast and rewarding process. Co-written with Manuela Johnston and Mackensie Clayton, this project was born out of friendship and a shared passion for music.

Each song holds strong memory, fizzy energy of a restless winter, and little time capsules to pull the listener to a place or a phase in life.

"Cloud City" was written as the middle phase of the Phases album. The EP introduces new sonic textures with overt loops, piano, and more focused vocal sounds.

NZ Musician Cover

As part of this EP release I was on the cover of NZ Musician!

"At only three songs, ‘Cloud City’ is her shortest EP to date.

“I like that kind of like, bite-sized exploration of a theme. Naturally I create shorter, four to six songs of exploring a topic and that feels whole to me. Each EP is not lesser because there’s less of it!”

The EP release formula also fits into an apparently enhanced sense of social timing.

“I can really sense the moment that a song that I write is now in a new era. I’ll be writing for ages and then just one random Tuesday, I write a song and will be like, ‘Okay, everything that comes before that goes together, and this and everything after it, even if the song before was like two days ago.” "
